Round 1: Spider Attack "Walk into my parlor . . ."

The spider continues to bite into the downed rogue in attempt to make a quick meal out of him. Its long hairs brissle as if to show its excitment. After the second bite, the strength seems to go out of the young man as he tries to get the creature away fro him.

Spider Actions

Spider does an additional 11 pod to Alyn. Same conditions apply (Slowed & 5 ongoing poison). Save ends both. Alyn is currently Bloodied. You may all go now.

Howler rushes forward, past Vayne, reacting to the sound and movement of the spider. Seeing it, and being more than ready to bash something, Howler grins and brings his swords down upon the arachnid. He nearly cries out in triumph, but manages to restrain himself.

I put a debuff on the spider, its in my Mechanics section. Have fun beating the snot out of it, guys!

Nave almost screams as the massive spider leaps down just feet in front of him and starts to consume his ally. Shivering, he weakly makes his way toward the action and shouts to Joe, his condescending tone still pervading despite the situation.

"I knew you weren't cut out for this kind of stuff. Will you get up and face your fears or will this smelly half-orc have to take care of the big baddie for you? Stand, and be blessed with the holy health of Zagreus, the God of Debauchery, Wine, and Joys!"

Gaining some confidence in himself after this, despite the massive spider still staring at him, looking into his soul, Nave avoids the eye contact and shouts at it, his morningstar raised high in the air.

"As for you, hideous cave-demon, my lord Zagreus will empower my allies to squash you. As for me, I tend to stay back here and... you know. Hope you have no hard feelings about it."

"The target grants CA until the end of your next turn, and your allies gain a power bonus to damage rolls against the target of +4 until the end of your next turn. The next ally who misses the target before the end of your next turn can reroll the attack."

Final Round: 175 XP

The Spider sees that its dinner did not come alone and they came with their own "fangs." It instinct for survival kicks in and it leaps away toward the exit passage. It moves through the webs without any hindrance and makes it way up the narrowing tunnel.

Alyn returns to consciousness after Nave's "inspirational" speech. After shaking out the cobwebs, he is able to stand and feels as good as new.

GM:

The Spider does Prodigious Leap, allowing it to shift 10 squares and then continues to run away up the tunnel. Quick observation shows that the tunnel is covered with webs at its entrance then narrows to a space that would be only comfortable for said spider. The encounter is over.

Alyn stays seated for a moment, taking stock of what happened, noting death can come calling without giving you a chance. His eyes then dart over to the "bait" in the middle of the room...thinking that if the captain abandons ship, the would-be catch enjoy a nice dinner.

He then picks up a loose rock from the floor (or other meaningless projectile) and 'skips' it into the pile of shiny debris out of frustration before getting up, and going over to Nave, and with a combination of wounded pride and gratitude says "Thanks, Nave, I owe ya one"
